Anubias nana ‘Pinto’ is a stunning cultivar of Anubias barteri, known for its unique variegated leaves that display an attractive mix of white, light green, and dark green. The plant’s coloration can shift depending on the environment. For example, under high light conditions the plant may develop predominantly dark green leaves, while lower lighting helps maintain the striking white variegation.
Like its relatives, Anubias nana ‘Pinto’ is highly durable and thrives in low-light aquariums, making it an excellent choice for beginners and seasoned aquarists alike. It can be grown on rocks, driftwood, or planted in the substrate, but care must be taken not to bury the rhizome, as this can lead to rot. While it grows slowly, it doesn’t require CO2, although the addition of CO2 and a nutrient-rich substrate can enhance its growth and overall health. Anubias ‘Pinto’ adds a striking visual element to any aquarium, making it perfect for both foreground and mid-ground placements in aquascapes.
